Throughout this entire emergency, the Cowlitz County DEM has had the pleasure of working with many generous citizens and businesses. There were more offers of equipment, materials and assistance than requests for help. Our response to the needs of our community would not have been as complete without good neighbors such as yourselves.
During the emergency CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) volunteers were called in to assist the DEM in supporting the emergency response. CERT volunteers are ordinary citizens who have received training for situations just like this. The DEM offers CERT training courses twice a year. The next class, in March, is full but if you are interested a class is forming for September. See the Cowlitz DEM's website for more information about CERT training.

A big thanks to DEM staff for this well thought out, user friendly, web site. It's a valuable resource for our community. I shared the access information with many businesses and fellow government agencies. We appreciate all you do! :)
The DEM staff and volunteers are doing a fabulous job keeping us all informed. What a wonderful group of diligent folk that are ready to help us during these trying times.
Thank you, and KEEP IT UP!
